As Columbus starts buzzing like crazy for Buckeyes games again, I do feel a little pang of missing caring about college football. It’s awfully fun. But with so much time/emotional energy spent obsessing about the Cubs, I just don’t have a lot of that left for anything else outside of the Bears. Maybe when the kids get a little older? I don’t know if there is a life phase thing when it comes to certain sports, but if there is, I’m just out of it with college football right now. It’s a bummer this time of year.
As for what you can expect (I’m headed to California and won’t have a BN post on this): 92-94 mph, some deception from a strange almost sideways-moving delivery, good change, solid breaking ball. Can get RHH out effectively. Durability the GIANT question.

Maddon, cont: "But, I'm not denigrating Yelich. He's a really good hitter. It was a great at-bat. But, I cannot believe how the ball carries here.”

I wrote about how @faridyu throws 10 (!) different pitch types & how no one's ever really done that before.
As usual, nothing happens solo. Props to @MLBastian for the reporting, @JasonBernard_ for data help, @schwartzstops for pitch classes.
